Blessings on blessings

Hello all!

This week definitely had its ups and downs, but I have been doing SO much better!  At the beginning of this week I was having a really hard time.  Long story short, I called my zone leaders crying and later that day at district council they not only gave me a blessing, but they stayed for 2 hours after to have a meeting with me and my comp.  We were able to talk through all of our issues and I quite literally felt a weight off my shoulders.  After the meeting I could finally breathe again!  I literally have the best zone leaders ever and they were SUCH an answer to prayers.  God is so good and He really is mindful of us!

At the beginning of this week when I was really struggling, I prayed harder than ever.  I kept asking God why He would inspire my mission president to have me train, to have me train a gringa, and to have me train Hermana J.  One night when I was praying, I received the clearest answer - God knew exactly what was happening and He had a purpose in it.  I realized, sure, God could make my mission easy if He wanted to, but what good would that do me?  What would I learn if I never struggled?  I knew I needed to humble myself and only continue to serve and love my companion even more.  Since then, I have really been able to develop the attribute of humility, which I never knew I struggled with.  It still can be hard sometimes, but I know that God has a purpose for me and that with Him I can do all things.

I love you all and hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

A dog bit me and I´m still upset about it

Good afternoon to everyone except to the dog that bit me :) Ok I´m being dramatic but YES I got bitten (bit? bitten? I´m forgetting english?) by a dog for the first time in my mission.  I was just walking along in the village, minding my own business, the dog was walking by us minding his own business, and then he just comes behind me and bites me in the leg and tries to attack us?!  The audacity.  Don´t fret though, I´m rabies free (so far) but I do have a pretty sweet bruise from it. #blessed Other than that, not much new stuff happened this week.  We got to stop by at Lesli and David´s (our miracle baptism) wedding reception for a minute, found someone to teach, and ate some weird animal parts like usual!  It´s been a good week here in Cotama (other than the dog bite...yes still being dramatic), and I get to go back to the city to QUITO for the day tomorrow for a dentist appointment!!!  Stay tuned to see if the toothac...

Wheels up!!

And just like that...24 hours after we talked to Hermana Harris, we received notification on 3/24 that they had secured flights for them and they would be on the plane today, Thursday, March 26th.  Miracles indeed happen, and a group of missionaries from the Ecuador Quito/Quito North missions are airborne and expected to arrive in the US in just a few short hours.  Our daughter’s Ecuador days are officially ended and it’s bittersweet!  We are excited to see her soon!!!

Bug Free!

Hello everyone! First of all, I would like to thank all 59 of you who emailed me with concerns about my ear bug.  I was suprised how many of you actually read my emails haha!  As an update, the bug didn´t lay eggs and no other insects have crawled out since then.  God is real haha.   Last pday my comp and I went to Centro Historico in Quito where all the touristy places are.  It was so weird walking around and hearing people speak in English haha.  We took a ton of photos, but unfortunately when I tried to upload them today, the computer deleted everything on my card, so now I have no photos :´)  Shoutout to Ecuador´s technology.  Luckily, my comp had a few on her camera but sadly none of the ones with us in it!  Keep reading your scriptures and praying! Con amor,  Hna Harris
